Fragrance Reviews by Paul G

Powdery, sexy and fun. This is one that transcends situations and works well with just about anything you're doing. Very underrated scent and similar to Kouros in name only. The Eucalyptus note stands out and set this apart. If you like Bvlgari Black or Le Male, give this one a go.

Outstanding scent that is very quiet and well made. It has a nice non sharp citrus edge at the top and the sweet spice and florals mark the middle. There isn't a dominant note in this scent. All of the scents seem there solely to compliment each other. Excellent scent and one that should get more attention.

I just couldn't warm up to this. It always made me feel slightly nauseaous. Interesting and strong. The citrus and tobacco contrast each other, but it just doesn't work on me. Hairy chested scent that is just something I can't wear.

A thinner Lolita for men. Excellent Anise based scent that is different enough for me to tip my cap to Lanvin for this one. Worth a try and a nice and classy choice that will work well in most situations.

Good pure sandalwood scent that will leave an impression on you. Dry and not terribly medicinal like some sandalwoods can be. Decent lasting power, though the Intense version reminds me of Himalaya (but not was nicely done). Destined to be a classic and one that most people will like.

when someone requests the perfect office scent, there should be a picture of this automatically sent as a reply. Crisp, clean and wonderful. It's in the vein of Bvlgari Pour Homme and a classic in the truest scents. Fabulous scent and something that you can never go wrong with. Outstanding in every sense. Timeless.

WEIRD. That's about all I can say. Citrus notes combined with a sickly sweet celery note. I've worn this a few times and don't know what I think. It will leave an impression if nothing else, but not something I could ever wear. There's a ton going on here though.

Imagine that a hippie is changing a diaper at a Starbucks. Overwhelming ghastly doses of powder, chocolate and coffee. Very similar to Navegateur by L'Artisan. Neither is good.

With Centaure and RdV part of LaPorte's "Death by Vetiver" line. The vetiver strangles any other notes that are trying to appear in the dry down. Not something I ever want to wear.

Superb. A linear scent with Basil and thyme dominating. Not much progression but never fails to leave an impression and a great comfort scent. Works well in all climates and all styles of dress. Excellent scent and one that while it might not work for everyone, is excellent. The best that MPG has to offer along with Santal Noble.

The next season of 24 might have Jack Bauer trying to capture Jean LaPorte for releasing this horrid juice on the fragrance world. There are no notes in this that can stand up to the sledgehammer use of vetiver in this scent. The use of Vetiver in this scent reminds me of the rats in medical labs who are allowed to hit the morphine button as much as they liked with any consequences not being considered. If you're a vetiver lover, it might work, but this is a crime against humanity. It doesn't so much wear as radiate off your skin. What was he thinking. This makes a Villoresi scent look like a CSP.

If you like iris, you'll love it. If you don't, you won't. Floral to a fault and turned rancid on me. It has very good lasting power and has a lot going on, but not something I could wear at all.

Lemon and Anise. It should work, but it doesn't. It got weird on me and ended up having an odd drydown that reminded me of the dehydrated urine you produce after a night of heavy consumption of hard liquor. Interesting, but didn't do anything for me. Very odd scent.

Good but done better by L'artisan's Ambre Extreme. Not quite as thick as that one, but nice. If you own either Ambre Sultan or Ambre Extreme, there's no reason to get this one.

Another Malle that has some interesting stuff going on in it, but just isn't something I could wear. Honey and musk are all over the place, but there's again that rotten flower note that gets involved and sadly ruins what is very interesting in its progression. Very much on the femme end of unisex. Definitely worth a try as it will leave an impression. Just not something I could wear.

Dry vetiver based scent that is done better by countless houses. Plus the lasting power isn't the best (which in this case isn't necessarily a bad thing). There's a lot more unique and wearable selections from this house. Not my bag at all.

Was advertised as unisex by some......it's not. Floral scent that didn't work on me at all. Interesting, but not something most men could even come close to pulling off.

Sweet, rich and cloying. I thought it was impossible to find a cloying summer scent, but they pulled it off here. Picture creme brulee and apricots. To clarify, not a good thing.

Let me preface this by saying that the lasting power of this scent is the worst I've ever seen. However, this scent is great enough to overcome that sad fact. Crisp sweet grapefruit, white musk and a hint of pepper make this the best pure citrus scent available without a shadow of a doubt. While I do need to reapply a lot, this scent is refereshing and wonderful. A must have for anyone who is looking for a bright summer citrus. Unisex as they come.

Hot sand in a bottle. It smells exactly like crisp carribean air. Fabulous pick me up scent with decent lasting power. It gives me something different each time I wear it and again breaks up the redudancy of many summer scents. Definitely worth a go and one of the more unique scents on the market. Excellent scent.

This scent is fun. Excellent and one of the longer lasting CSPs. Fresh crisp musk with a hairspray vibe. Fun and casual. It's one that is great for lazy weekend days with a lot of heat and humidity. Great for breaking up the monotony of Summer Citrus scents that we all have.

Another scent I've tried twice and remember nothing about, aside from being mediocre. It's not offensive or bad, just a run of the mill scent that fails to do anything either way for me.

Aside from the fact that it has horrid staying power, this scent is a huge let down from a house that I hold in VERY high regard. Another fresh marine AdG knockoff that leaves the wearer wanting more. It's nice, but uncreative. I expect more from a house that has put out gems like Pour Homme and amazing Black. Too bad, I hope this isn't a sign of times to come. C'mon Bvlgari, you're better than this.

rather fond of this one. it's like a more modern update of the classic citrus that wear easier and doesn't have the musty edge that the guerlains of the world get. not a ground breaker but works very well in major heat. nice scent!

the Silver Mountain Water comparisons are valid. However, it has a much woodier base that comes out in the drydown. Has similar lasting power and fairly nice. If you own SMW though there's really not a big reason to get this. Not worth the high price and one of the reasons they catch the grief they do about lack of originality.

Excellent lasting power, but a scent I have trouble pinning down. It has a lot going on in it and is right on the line of being sharp to a fault, but it changes drastically througout the wearing. It is somewhat unique though, which is a nice change of pace from this house.

Excellent summer scent and probably my most complimented. Wonderful lasting power and one that seems to work with any style of dress and mood. Clean citrus notes mixed the ambegris and has a salty tinge to it that sets it apart from run of the mill summer scents. A must for any summer wardrobe.

To me this is similar to Curve by Claiborne and not any more wearable. Nicely made scent, but not something I could ever wear.

Wow is this horrid. I had the misfortune of applying one spray to my wrist at Neiman Marcus. This scent is one of the more powerful Creed scents out there, and in this case, that's not a good thing. It's a typical heavy sandalwood based scent with zero vision and even less wearability. Only one spray was enough to make my 87 year old Grandmother tell me I smelled terrible and that I was wearing too much "aftershave" and my sister (who was at a separate place and never comments on scents) tell me to, "take it easy with the cologne". Santal Noble does this far better and is far more wearable. Another in a long line of disappointments from the modern Creed noses.

This one is wonderful and a prime example of why this house is held in such high regard. It's, as you would expect, Vetiver dominant but it's not the kind of Vetiver you'd find it Guerlain's or MPG's that radiates and overtakes the whole scent. It's the centerpiece, but doesn't overtake the other notes. To echo Mike, it runs circles around anything put out by the house in the past 20 years.

Don't get this blind......there's a lot going on here and none of it's good. It's a ambergris dominated scent that is thick, rich and gooey. Picture a Creed perfumer behind hired by Serge Lutens. Just didn't work. Yikes, this one was terrible on my skin. Dated and not something that could be pulled off in this era to my nose.

Outstanding citrus scent that holds up far past any era. Much more on the masculine side of the spectrum, very similar to many of the modern citrus scents that are on the market today. Quite nice and fairly good lasting power.

I wish I could wear this one. A dark and meaty citrus scent that has a ton going on. In many cases this scent is a formal summer scent that challenges the wearer and has more heft to it than any citrus based scent I've ever encountered. However, this scent is extraordinarily tempermental on my chemistry and at times will turn rancid and sickly smelling on my skin. I would like to wear it more often, but not knowing if it's going to be great or a trainwreck makes it impossible for me to wear. Too bad because it's a great scent.

Great scent, from a great era for this house. Nice creamy and mildly spicy sandalwood scent that is a nice change of pace from the usual overly dry sandalwood based scents. Funny note, my kids told me I smelled like a Quesadilla while wearing it.

Extremely nice scent and as the scent has been around for 140something years, surprisingly contemporary. Very fresh lavendar scent that plays well with casual attire and spring weather. Lasting power isn't the best, but it's worth a try for everyone.

The comparisons to Mugler Cologne are justified. At first whiff this scent is a striking clone of it. However, there are a great deal of differences that warrant having both in your wardrobe. After the first half hour, the basenotes of vetiver comes into the fray and makes this a very nice, if unspectacular, scent that works in most situations. I didn't care for it at first, but it grew on me after awhile. Typical nicely made, safe, unoffensive modern Creed.

Think of a Demeter scent with heft. It's what it says it is.....lemon lime soda, but quite nice and does have a great deal of substance. A wonderful summer scent and has decent lasting power for a citrus scent.

Fabulous scent. Very dry and powdery but with a sweetness that never disappears. There is nothing even remotely like this scent I've ever come across. It's scents like this that continue to make me hold L'artisan in such high regard. Superb.

Oh this one's a winner. Rich musk and fresh berries that tempers a bit with time to become a sweet sexy and quite scent. Excellent lasting power, but another intimate one from L'artisan. Perfect for warm spring days and is a great pick me up scent when I'm feeling down.

This scent makes me feel like I'm at an upscale restaurant and saw something that sounded like it should be good but ends up leaving me hungry and completely unsatisfied. It just doesn't work and has no lasting power at all. Soak some pinapple lifesavers in water and save yourself $100.

Lots of cinnamon and very quite. Definitely an aquired tastes, but popular amongst the nine year old set.

Picture a CSP scent with a soul. Fabulous scent. I can't say enough about this one. Fresh orange blossom and citrus that positively sings in hot and humid weather. While the lasting power is typical of a citrus scent, this one is beyond words and the best of its genre. Amazing scent.

I wish there was something more than thumbs up for this one. It's fabulous. Cinnamon and musk combine to make a sexy and sweet scent that never fails to take me on a ride with each wearing. It has gotten big compliments and is one that does something different, and each time wonderful, with each application. It's scents like this that make Malle so highly regarded. A must try for musk lovers.

Sadly, this turned to rotten flowers on my skin. It's starts out interesting, but my chemistry shreads this one and it turns into something that reminds me of a garden after the first frost. In addition, the projection is non existent.

Nice, but woeful projection and lasting power. I would like to wear it, but I coulnd't detect it 10 minutes after application.

Buyer beware. Picture a fruitcake wrapped in leather and then amplified 100 fold. Completely unwearable leather scent that didn't do anything for me. If you like Arabie and Fumerie Turque this one is for you. If you don't, then avoid it like the plague.

where to start with this gem. good god, this scent is superb. it's sex in your face. it starts off with a note reminiscent of the monkey house at the zoo. don't plan on spraying this scent less than 20 minutes before you come in contact with anyone because the top notes are horrid. however, when it settles, it's brilliant. sexy, rich musk that is sweet and sexy and a mindblower. the complexity of this scent and the drydown make the horrid top notes worth suffering through. not for everyone, but this scent packs a wallop.

Interesting problem with this scent. When I got a sample vial of the scent, It was extraordinary.....second only to Malle's brilliant Vetiver Extraordinaire. However, after getting a fully bottle, it turned horrid on my skin. So I returned to the sample vial and then loved it again. Figuring I had a bad bottle, I tried it from the sample vial applicator and then found it was great. Here's the problem: in doses so small you have to hold your wrist to your nose to detect it, it's fabulous. In any semblance of a dose big enough to project, it didn't work on me. Too bad because it's very interesting. Just doesn't work with my chemistry.

Awful! It smells like a vanilla milkshake left to wilt in the sun. Sickly sweet and cloying as they come. I couldn't wash this one off fast enough, and my tastes run towards the sweet side of scent. There's countless scents that use vanilla better than this one does. Beware a blind buy on this one......

A Lolita for grownups. This scent is sexy and mysterious and one that I reserve for the times when I want to wear something sexy. Anise is the prominent note and it also has a strong, powdery chocolate note. Absolutely outstanding scent.

The best scent put out in the last 3 years. This is a total mindblower. It's a typical thick and syruppy Lutens that comes off a lot like Amen without the lavendar. Rich caramel and tar in this one. Outstanding lasting power and it projects without being over the top. Fabulous scent and one that lives up the reputation of this house. A must try.....too bad it's only available in the EU.

Big disappointment. As a lover of clean musk scents like Musc Alize and Bvlgari Pour Homme, I was anxious to try this one. It's thinner than most Lutens, but comes off as smelling like hairspray and ending up being a nice musk scent. The huge price tag though makes this a big let down. Not worth it at all.

Typical Lutens sledgehammer oriental that left no impression of any kind. I've worn it four times now and can't remember a thing about it aside from seeming like something they'd put out. That speaks volumes.

I rather liked the spicy and smokey leather feel from this scent, but I got nothing but negative feedback regarind this one. The best of which were being told by kids that I smelled like "their Mom's pepper grinder" and a coworker asking me if I was standing near a campfire that morning. Too bad, because I used to like to wear this one.

Big thumbs down on this scent. I came in with high hopes, but found nothing to warrant another wearing. It has a horridly synthetic salty feel to it that turns rancid on my skin. If you're looking for an easily accesibly aquatic scent, stick with L'eau Par Kenzo. This did nothing for me aside from make me want to wipe it off as it got progressively cheaper smelling on me as time went on.

it got panned on the board a bit, but I'm a big fan of this. It's not overly complex or overly strong. It's a wonderful casual scent that illicits a great deal of positive feedback. Perfect for a weekend of casual shopping or lunch. Excellent scent and another winner from Burberry....now if they can just do something about the clothes :)

A disappointment of epic proportions. It's not bad, but it's essential an Au Fraiche version of Amen. It's nice, but I expect more from this house. Take out the tar and heavy chocolate note from Amen and you'd have this. Big let down and not worth it to my nose. Too bad.

A vetiver based scent that I can't get a beat on. It's extraordinarily dry. I can't get a strong feeling for it either way, though there are some days where it works. It's a scent that's unique enough to warrant trying, but I really can't get a full bearing on what I think of it. I have to be in the exact perfect mood to wear it....regretfully that isn't very often. It has enough going on in it to warrant a test drive, but I can't figure out what it's trying to do.

There are three amber scents that are all similar to each other: Ambre Sultan, Ambre Precieux and then Ambre Extreme. Of the three, this is the top of the lot. If there's a better sweater for a cold winter day with a sweater on, I've yet to see it. Warm, sweet amber dominates and the lasting power is nothing short of extraordinary. It projects without being in your face. It's warm and never fails to give me an instant feeling of comfort upon trying it. A must try for fans of amber scents.

Sadly it's not available in the US very readily. This scent is wonderful. While it's compared by some to Play-doh, that's not the thrust of the scent. It's almond and white musk and really stunning. Sadly though, it's hard to find in these parts.

Superb. While it lacks the lasting power to make it a regular in the rotation, it's an interesting take on pepper and quite stunning. With each wearing, it takes on different facets. Like much of the L'artisan scents, it's a scent for yourself and people you want to experience it. I'm quite happy that they sell this outside the Epices de Passion set. One of the better, and more unique, pepper based scents available

Let me preface this by saying that I have been pretty well documented on the forum about my dislike of Vetiver as a dominant note in scents (even beyond that wretched Guerlain concotion which I still don't understand that appeal of ). I have found some scents that can use it and be wearable, LV's was nice but too earthy as a whole and the entire MPG line, which I call the Death by Vetiver Series which contains Racine, Centaure (the most wearable of the lot) and the crime against humanity Route du Vetiver. MPG's line as a whole reminds me of a surgical patient in post-op who's allowed to hit the morphine bottom to their heart's content. It's used so heavily that it renders the whole thing unwearable. It gets to the point where the vetiver strangles every other note in the scent. Creed' OV I have warmed up to but still find too safe and uninspiring to be hold in the regard that I hold this scent in. Vetiver can have a post meltdown nuclear reactor vibe on me but this scent takes vetiver to places I could hever have dreamt of. This scent removes all things foul and unwearable about vetiver and turns it into a fresh, citrusy and musky edge that puts all other vetiver scents on the market I've tried to shame. I have worn this scent, on several occasions for over a week straight (unheard of for me) and still never fail to love it any less. The dominant notes at the top are citrus. However, unlike many of the higher end scents, this scent is not a jumbled mess like many of them are. This scent begins with a beautiful simplicity it would seem but the true complexity of this scent takes many wearings to truly fathom. It has a pleasant lemony and orange feel with bergamot quietly mingling with the vetiver at the top and then evolves to show its multifaceted wonder througout the wearing. The vetiver is simply the note that holds it together. IT's not so much a focal point, but a catalyst which all the other notes play off. The vetiver never goes too far away or too far upfront and makes this scent one of something that is a challenge to the senses and a delight to wear to see the balance of this scent appear. While there are soapy feels at times, and other times a brief, mildly, earthy stage but the citrus never truly goes away (how Ropion pulls this off is a testament to his genious) this scent is a mind blower in every sense of the word. This scent isn't defined by a note, it's a sum of the parts. This scent is a symphony with all the parts put in place for balance and a specific purpose. It's not an assault on the senses so much as a delight. Brilliant scent and this one may eventually overtake my beloved Piper Nigrum as my signature. Brilliance and elegance combined.

Brilliant!!! It's essentially a poor man's Musk Ravageur. It starts off animalic with a huge blast of patchouli. However after a half hour or so it warms up and sweetens up and becomes a truly wonderful scent that is a great bargain at $59 for 100ml. It also works wonderful in a diffuser as a room scent.

This is Bvlgari Pour Homme after it got back from the South Pacific. It has the same woody and musky base but there is a tropical note that stays with it throughout. Very underrated scent. I think it will quickly become a summer staple for me.

This scent is pure brilliance. It starts off like, many Villoresi's as a mess and takes a few minutes to get settled. When it does, it's magical. Like all Villoresi's this scent is balanced. None of the notes really overpower it, and I think it could be the first fragrance I've seen with Styrax that doesn't smell sickly sweet. This scent has unbelievable lasting power but is not overpowering or cloying. This is quickly on its way to being a signature scent for me. Absolutely amazing stuff.

Wow! It starts off with a rose note at the top that is incredibly strong. Like all Viloresi's on me, this one takes a bit to set. When the rose subsides though, this scent is pure brilliance. It's very creamy and woody and not a musk in the sense I've grown accustomed to. The musk is tempered by the woods considerably and while present is not the dominant note. The scent is a portrait of balance as no note really overpowers the whole thing as the sandalwood and amber mix nicely with the Musk. This fragrance demands more than one testing and is truly a work of art.

They could easily call this one Eau de Starbucks. Coffee on the top and in the middle. It's spicy and a very complex scent...the notes keep coming and mix exceptionally well. Intriguing scent....another interesting one from L'Artisan.

Nice scent, but almost an identical clone of Bvlgari Extreme (Green). Lots of green tea and jasmine. It's not bad, but I expect a something a bit more risqué from this house. It does last better than Bvlgari Green though.

L'Artisan is known for some more interesting/unique scents and this one does the house proud. It's sweet with Blackberries and Musk as the dominant notes. Since this is an EDP it has unbelievable lasting power. It was still strongly detectable after sleeping and applying 12 hours prior. This scent is beautiful. Expensive, but absolutely worth every penny.

Too much ginger. It smells a lot of like if you replaced the Tobacco in new tabarome with bug spray. It's green and gets strangely warm and musky on the dry down. If you have Tabarome, you have no reason to get this one.

Foul! This stuff is terrible. It's overly powdery and the fig overpowers the scent. Near the the top of my ten worst.

LOVE IT! Strange top notes, but quickly settles into a very nice scent. The Shower gel wonderfully accents the fruit in the top notes and exponentially adds to the lasting power. Great scent.

If L'artisan's head perfumer went to work for Demeter this is what they'd produce. It smells like what the title says: a cup of tea. I love tea in scents when it accents and plays off the other notes.....in this one, it smells like a cup of tea. Great quality, but not my bag at all.

I'm not sure how this scent dries down because the first 10 minutes were so awful that I couldn't get to the shower fast enough to wash it off. On the bright side, it took three showers to get it all washed off so the staying power is good. I might have gotten a bottle gone bad, but I"m not willing risk trying it again to find out{shudder}. Awful.

Put Thierry Mugler's Cologne in an atomizer with Pi and you'd get something a bit like this. It has incredible lasting power and while strong isn't overwhelming. Classy and confident. Excellent fall/winter evening scent.

The first 20 minutes of this scent are kind of odd. It comes off as somewhat synthetic and something smells like they should have named it l'eau de la vieille dame. After the "old lady" top notes, it becomes a beautiful complex scent with the tea and musk nicely combining to make a very elegant and non imposing summer scent. Give it a few minutes, it's worth it. Excellent scent and is destined to become a summer staple for me. The shower gel is top notch as well.

L'Artisan has a gem in this one. It's sexy, mysterious and dark. It's sweet and has a lot of different levels going on, true to the whole L'Artisan line. The hazelnut is strong throughout but it's by no means cloying or over the top. Amazing Scent.

Wow is all I can say about this one. I have recently come to LOVE the L'Artisan line and this one is absolutely amazing. It starts off kind of boring with some incense and a sawdust like smell to it. However, about a half hour into it, woods, some fruit, incense and spices start to come out and it turns into one of the more complex and intriguing fragrances I've ever come across. Amazing Stuff.

I go back and forth on this scent. One minute I wonder what I was thinking and other times I think it's one of the cooler scents out there. It's also one of the more potent scents I've ever encountered. It lasts forever. It's intensely woody and spicy. I think of it more as a cool spring/summer night scent. It's very well made and you'll definitely stand out wearing it.

THIS STUFF IS SO SEXY! It begins somewhat sweet and flowery, but quickly becomes much darker and mysterois with a bit of a woody base and the white musk nicely holding the whole thing together. Phenomenal scent. I just wish it would last a bit longer.

I love this scent. I really do.... You can pull it off in any weather (though Spring/Summer seems like the best match for it) and it's a beautiful fragrance with the Tea and the Black Currant nicely coming together. This being said the staying power of this scent is embarrassingly poor. This scent is gone in about an hour and a half and needs to constantly be reapplied. It would probably be my signature scent if it had any staying power. The 50 dollar shower gel is worthless for this too.

One word: Powder. Extremely perfumey and has an ovewhelming powdery quality to it. It's only plus quality is its staying power is great because it took my two showers to scrub the stuff off me which is unfortunate because it's not a very good scent, especially with the hefty price tag.

I really have come to like this one. It's not exactly groundbreaking, but lasts nicely and dries down well. It's sweet, remains fairly close to the skin and seems to live up to the title. It's casual and relaxing. The honey and the citrus combine nicely on the drive down. Very nice scent.

Well made scent and very interesting. However this fragrance quickly dries down into a very smoky and VERY intensely woody scent. The wood is so overpowering in this scent it's not for me.

this scent is a complete waste. it's impossible to overdo it with this one because it's gone before it hits your skin. like a citrusy 212. boring and no staying power.

This is 90% of a great scent. I enjoy the other two D&G's but this one is missing a note that holds it all together. The peppermint note is a bit too much as it comes off as fresh almost to a fault. Not a bad scent, but it's lacking something to hold the whole thing together.

Stuffy and way too much tobacco. Very well crafted scent and unique, but not very versatile and ultra formal. Not my bag at all.

Like all Bvlgari scents, this one is classy and understated. This one is dark and smokey. It becomes a bit powdery, like most Bvlgari's, but is one that I get TONS of compliments for and is a great evening scent. Listed as unisex, but I have trouble seeing most women being able to pull this one off.

If you run into someone on the street who is wearing too much cologne, there is a better than 50/50 chance that they have this on. This is the poster child for over application. Overbearing and overused. I can't stand this scent.

Fresh to the nth degree. I really like this for a summer scent. This fragrance seems to behave different on me each time I wear it. I don't get much singular notes out of this one, but I am a big fan of it. Also has the bonus of mixing well with A*men to form a much more versatile/wearable version of Angel men.

Sweet, citrus based scent that reminded me a lot of a more floral Geir without the vanilla. Available exclusively at Nordstrom's. Tried it twice, didn't make much of an impression.

Very sweet, almost sickly so. I don't care for it at all. It seems artificial on me. Two separate women, on separate occasions, told me I smelled like Cap'n Crunch while wearing it.

Very fresh and clean scent. This is a great daytime summer scent. The mandarin lingers throughout the scent but this scent is very non obtrusive and interesting. It needs to be layered, but the body products are very reasonable. Good stuff.

I love this scent during the summer. It is about as aquatic as they come and is neither overpowering nor too close to the skin. It's a very fresh and clean scent that elicits many compliments. Haven't smelled it on many others too which is a plus.

Intutition to me comes off as very cheap smelling. It starts off similar to Allure and then starts getting a little more spicy and horribly synthetic smelling. I've worn it numerous times and have recieved 3 negative comments and no compliments. I have been trying to get myself to like this scent but it's not a very well crafted scent.

This stuff is amazing. It's so dead on it's frightening. I don't know a time I'd wear it and not that it's unpleasant, but this stuff smells exactly like dirt and I don't have many times I need to smell like dirt.

Again Demeter delivers a fragrance up to his namesake. This is like a poor man's Tommy T. It makes me want to go grab a handful of quarters and go put some stuff in the dryer. One of the longer lasting in Demeter's catalog.

I LOVE THIS SCENT! If you want classy and subtle. It remains very close to the skin throughout and dries down very powdery with the woods and the musk subtly emerging in the drydown. The tea rings throughout and the Blackcurrant is prominent, too. The staying power, when used with the shower gel, is good. This is the scent I wear whenever I need to be at my most confident.

This is without question the scent I most regret buying. It smells like a cross between roses and urine. It is overly spicy and does not do very much on my skin after first spraying it. Very disappointing scent. If you want to smell like exactly like a rose with a hint of saffron this is your scent.
